Nothing like Kobe from 05-07
Kobe Bryant's off ball movement was great. One of the most underrated aspects of his game. He always knew how to get open off the ball.
And he was very good at catching and shoot despite being a scorer with the ball mostly
He was never “open”
Prime Kobe was another level. Perfect fadeaway games...
In the highlights
Damnnn Kobe was a beast😳🕊🙏🏽
It was amazing how these two legends always went at RIP KOBE!🙏🙏🙏
🥶🥶🥶
Remember going to this game with my Dad. Didn't realize how special of a game it really was until years later.
You literally witnessed an important moment in history.
Kobe’s talent and influence was beyond the numbers. The heart, fearlessness, intensity, and repertoire he showed went beyond the stat sheet
Delusion
@@Dggdsfbh hatred
kobe was trash
The shot distribution for the 2005-06 Lakers shown at 6:20 shows how bad the team would've been without Kobe considering Smush Parker was the 3rd option that season.
If Kobe would have at least had a decent team to work with he would have easily won the championship that year. The man was Unstoppable
Same with LeBron matter of a fact every yr with help he wins

Look at the age difference prime Kobe young Lebron
3rd year Lebron was going head to head against the NBA Best Shooting Guard at the time in his prime 10th season Kobe Bryant. Love to see it!
Lebron was going against the best player in the league
Dumb ahh. He was going up against the best player in the league and one of the greatest of all time.
@@clips4fun2024And beat him
Kobes skill is just unmatched lmao
Yea. I can get behind that. MJ was just physically overpowering, he just flowed downhill and he had those huge hands to control the ball in midair...nobody will ever touch that. But Kobe got his in his own way by being very crafty and one step ahead of everyone as well as having a killer mid range j.
Skilled but lebron is stronger,faster and smarter than kobe..
@@karlmichael1956kobe is smarter than lebron.
kobe Bryant is the best
Kobe dominated this game no question. Bad calls by the refs kept the Cavs in it ultimately they won the game. This is the epitome of Kb and LBJ. LBJ ultimate team player, Kobe top 2 one on one player ever.
But this game Kobe should of shot like 5 or 6 more fts and at the end he was clearly hacked again in a deciding play. The whole 2nd half was a circus wwe style.
Your comment saying kobe not a top team player is ridiculous. How could he not be a team player when he was the leader who kept his guys in position, engaged, understanding the way to win and etc. Just cause he took over games as much doesn't mean he didn't by into any thing that the coaches game plan was. Look at all his championship runs to the finals and Western conference games see how many times he lead the team and run the offense so that they could be in position to win. That wasn't all smush Parker and Derek fisher, alot of that was kobe. Ppl think just cause you have a ego and attitude doesn't mean you not a team player and leader. Everyone attributes lebron as a team player cause his style of play and personality, and lebron game is that of Magic but throughout magic time everyone new he had a killer instinct, he was a serious winner and was hard on his teammates. So kill that noise ppl just hate on Kobe completely.
06 Kobe was on another Level, terrible Lakers inbound execution. Kobe finally gets the ball at half court with 3.4 seconds remaining and nearly makes the three with 3 defenders crowding him smh.
Looks like Kobe tells Luke to take the timeout after the game, if the Lakers had a timeout and Luke didn't take it that's just sad. His peak really got screwed by the Lakers front office, as soon as he got someone to step up (bynum), the Lakers were #1 in the west.
Luke was decent defender but Jesus that team was just awful. Smush getting blown by every play, Kwame being a matador on defense, Luke turning it over, what was Kobe supposed to do if they are just going to blow the entire game in the last 5 minutes.

To think lebron had such a bad team for years it’s amazing he stayed as long as he did.
Kobe is different. who the hell does these kinds of shots like Kobe nowadays. None.
Hubie brown couldn't defend lebron any more than he did when kobe stripped him clean, then he tried to accuse kwame about fouling lebron. It's like the league was forever lebron's lawyer
🔥🏀
People try to say Kobe was never the obvious best player in the game but lebron even admitted in this video and Dwyane wade admitted it in 2011 as well. Kobe was the best on and off depending on how well shaq or Duncan or lebron was playing from 2001 to 2011
No tf he wasn’t.😂😂😂 Bron took over by 2008. One might could say the league was his by 06-07.

11:02 Bang
*LeBron James from downtown!*
KOBE was in his full prime that year, and LEBRON was still young and didnt reach his full prime yet in 2006
Kobe had the courage to take the last shot in crunch time rather than passing it to someone else, which is the job of a true superstar - hitting the key shot in crucial moments and breaking the deadlock for the team.
that was a horrible shot
But kobe can't hit most of them
Courage means what??? LOL they lost, in fact he always lost to LeBron led teams so your point is invalid. Even in his 2 championships Pau was more clutch in the Finals both years and Metta saved him from a horrible 8-24 in game 7. Sometimes, it just makes sense to play the game the right way
Actually the job of a superstar is to get the best quality shot you possibly can
@@freightJames found a flaming bronsexual
kobe had to build his team from scratch after the oneil and kobe era and went to 3 straight finals and won 2. Lebron went to build a big 4 big 3 and still wont get two in a row. 😅
The difference between LeBron and Kobe, is LeBron knows how to bring his teammates with him. Didn’t mind letting them shine. His all around play/unselfishness, is infectious. Games like this prove it.
It’s damn near the exact opposite
Shut up u nut
man so many observations from this game here are a few from me;
lebron from this time to about 4 more years was definitely under appreciated, i am definitely guilty as a laker and kobe fan. his shot making and want to prove his self was shown so much throughout this time weather he came up short or got it done people forget he wasnt even old enough to drink yet.
kobes skill level was so high from around this time for about the next 3/4 seasons he still had peak athleticism and it was such a marvel to watch when he got it going.
smush parker isnt as bad as people remember he was just never a great 3rd option, and since he was under a microscope so to speak because of the greatness of kobe he was forced into a role that just wasnt him.
a fee players would have been much much better in todays era on both sides of the ball from this game. luke reminds me a lot of josh giddy, obviously not as good a shooter but better defender.
extremely fun game to reminisce on. much love for posting this.
I wish more Kobe fans are like you, civilized and reasonable. I am a Lebron guy. I'll take Lebron over Kobe. You will probably do otherwise, but TBH, I can respect people who think Kobe is better than Lebron, as long as respect Lebron's greatness, which you do.
In many ways, I do hope we can stop all time Lebron vs Kobe, Lebron vs Jordan, Jordan vs Kobe, Kobe vs Duncan etc debate, they all all time great, there is no need to compare.
Nice game with a very Kobe ending
I didn't know LeBron whopped Kobe's ass so many times ..... respectfully RIP
Lebron aint whoop Kobe’s ass lol he got stripped and facialized by Kobe. Lebron was cooking Odom.
Thats a fact . KOBE's fans use all kind of lame excuses for how LEBRON beat KOBE majority of the times, lol,,, but the reality is LEBRON and his CAVS got a winning record vs KOBE between the seasons of - (2003 - 2010)
I’m a huge Kobe fan. But I’ve came to conclusion that Bron is better. If compare them year for year when they came into the league Bron way better. One Bron was the #1 pick in the draft Lebron never came off the bench Bron won rookie of the year. Like in this game Kobe in his 10th year this is Bron 2nd year like u can’t compare this. Now compare this season to Kobe 2nd year and it’s no comparison. U put Bron on that lakers team with shaq they don’t lose lol.
watching Brian Cook play pnr defense is painful in some of these clips. doesn't seem to care to move his feet

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Why does it look suspicious that Lamar is playing at least 6 to 10 feet away from lebron?
7:45 Mav at the game in the background full name Maverick Carter
1:38 that was a double dribble😑
LeBron was way better at playing with bad teams than Kobe was
King lion vs black Crocs
Look at the age difference everyone saying, look at the size difference. Lebron could always drive with his size and strength. Kobe never had that luxury 6’6 205, Lebron 6’9 250
KOBE's fans use all kind of lame excuses for how LEBRON beat KOBE majority of the times they played against each other., lol,,,
but the reality is LEBRON and his CAVS got a winning record vs KOBE between the seasons of - (2003 - 2010).
KING JAMES dominated KOBE in the majority of the meetings against each other, and that was even before LEBRON joined the HEAT ,
Lebron can shoot, drive in, run the team, much more athletic/physical than Kobe
Kobe can only shoot
Kobe can shoot drive and pass (james is better). Kobe in his prime was athletic too. Dont tweak
Kobe can only shoot 😂 tell us you don’t know basketball without telling us you don’t know basketball
@@jacobyjonez9900 better handle, footwork, post game, and a better defender. YOU dont know the game
@@henrybenjamin9841 huh? I was responding to the comment he said Kobe can only shoot, I was laughing saying he doesn’t know the game the only thing Lebron does better than Kobe is pass that’s about it
@@jacobyjonez9900 forgive me my boy i was trying to respond to that
The shots this man kobe was making in this game is ridiculous...I mean most players not making those but kobe was always different than the rest...wish he was still here for real
Lebron will never have the same respect that Kobe and Jordan have.
“Kobe don’t think ass”
Yet here we see Kobe passing the ball with 38 points !? Triple dub
Travel 7:29😂😂😂
Kobe with yet another selfish play at the buzzer. He clearly had one guy open at three point line but Kobe just had to force that lame shot. Kobe is nowhere near LeBron in terms of talent and legacy. Lebron at age 40 would drop 30 points on Kobe.
ion give a damn about no age difference stop comparing Lebron to kobe
Lebron defeated Kobe 16 times
kobe is better

But kobes lot off missed shot..
Kobe isn’t losing to the Mavs with Wade and Bosh. Kobe isn’t losing in 5 with Kyrie and Love.
“HeS a BeTtEr PaSseR” who gives af. The point is SCORING and DEFENSE. I think they’d lose to the Warrior but that’s going 7. The stuff he would do to Klay Thompson… he would make him look like Mike Dunleavy.
Bron is better rebounder and slightly better passer. Kobe is a far better defender and he is better offensively in every aspect compared to Bron.
The most overrated athlete of my lifetime. And the softest giant in the world.
KOBE got a LOSING RECORD with the LAKERS against LEBRON's Cavs between - (2003 - 2010) regardless of the narrative youre trying to spew
And KOBE lost with DWIGHT HOWARD, STEVE NASH and PAU GASOL with hall of fame Coach PHIL JACKSON .
LEBRON won with an old past prime DWIGHT HOWARD
kobe just didnt have a better teammate.
Lebron clearly having the better game but everyone is Kobe worshiping in the comments. Kobe lost them the game with his horrible end game shot selection. His ego and his desire to make the shot in end game situations was his downfall
Damn he somehow won more rings than LeBron doing it his way.

@Andres Del Portillo I most definitely agree 👍🏾👍🏾😂😅💯
Kobe is the goat
I absolutely love Kobe and have watched him play since the 90's and I am a huge LeBron fan as well but I can not stand the clowns like you. This was one game they played and I hate to bring this up but head to head "lebum" has won more than half of the matchups while averaging more points, assists, rebounds and a better feild goal percentage but Kobe leads for 3 point percentage by .3. Not bringing that up to hate on Kobe he is my idol and I would defend him if this was the other way around it just drives me crazy seeing people like you hating based off one games outcome and in general just enjoy both of these players greatness and if you like or think one is better than ok cool that's your opinion and I respect it but no need for the ignorant hating and slander. In my opinion they are both two of the best to ever lace them up and you don't have to hate on one just because you think the other is better. But hey the NBA wouldn't have the most toxic fanbase without the people like you.

Wow you really have nothing to do...
Yoo no one is comparing Kobe and LeBron. At this time tho, to me Kobe was a better scorer, and defender, but LeBron was a better playmaker and better rebounder. Kobe was slightly better than LeBron during 04 to 09, and 010. Once LeBron realized how to win , he was truly the best player. 2011 he was supposed to be, but choked. See how you have to wait till the end to really get the answer on who's a better player. Y'all can say LeBron was better during 2007 to 2010, but the truth is he wasn't because he didn't know how to win. He had the best record , but when it counted the most he couldn't produce? Because before you lead, you must follow! No one showed him how to win, there wasn't Phil to guide him. I'm sure he had someone who was a champion, but you need to build a culture and a champioship habits and no one brought that to him , and no one was ever there to show it. After LeBron lost, and finally learned how to win, and build that culture of nothing else matters , but the trophy, then he was a monster after that! He found the formula to be the truly best. I love Kobe to death, but I'ma laker fan! I don't really follow players , but Kobe would be my favorite. I hated LeBron, but the years when he's with the Lakers ,till now( 2021). I seen how amazing this man is, the game comes so easily to this guy!!! Like he is the chosen one!!!! There's nobody else blessed, I feel like god really chose him , because of the way he makes the game look, no one ever did that! Also with his abilities and physical structure, and a great role model. What else can you say? Im going to enjoy Lebron's final years, like I did with Kobe. I can truly say now that LeBron is better than Kobe in the way he can just play ball, but Kobe to me is a better scorer ( Shooting FG is overrated as long as your shooting high 40s in 2pts it's too close) and a better defender and the mamba will. What separates them is the way LeBron sees the game, don't get me wrong Kobe is a hell of a mind when it comes to basketball, but he was immature back in the day, and he was smart and knew how to really win , but he was to arrogant and to selfish( He could've won with Shaq against Detroit, but he wanted to prove that he could , can't blame him! No one wants that narrative of he won because if the other player, unless there truly better than you, And when he was scoring a lot when Shaq got traded, he didn't have anyone to trust! Shit those teams wasn't basketball championship material) I didn't blame him, the players he was surrounded with was crazy! This also is the difference, LeBron would win with Kobe's roster , idk if he can carry them to the best records in the seasons (Lakers roster was truly bad) but at this time LeBron would win a lot in the seasons and usually end up with the best record because it's just 1 game at a time and at a early age he was a better leader. Kobe was proving himself to Shaq and was obsessed with MJ, but when Lebron's teams plays a series , the best team always comes out, and he felt short, he's early roster wasn't built for a championship, and he had no one! You need at least 2 really dominant players to win. Once Phil came back Kobe finally could trust someone and D fish also, so the load got easier, and Kobe finally became a leader ,and finally could use all that genius of a basketball mind he had. , but just was to arrogant to change his ways , and that cost him. LeBron was built for basketball, he is to me the most blessed player ever. The plays he makes , the ability to see the play before it happens is really remarkable! There both great , and let's just be happy we seen them play because they were amazing. RIP to KOBE , Gianna and all the people that died. I will never forgett you Kobe ! The joy you bring to me the way when l the Lakers play would relax me for 2.5 hours!;I truly thank you! All the lesson I learned from watching you,
5 rings ! Shut up. 2 of those rings were teams Kobe beat that lebron could not
@@kerrybase8037 5 beats 4. 5 real rings beat 2 game 7s and 2 shortened seasons. Russell Westbrook had proven the holding the ball and build up your stats style doesn’t win. That’s why your man had all the stats but is literally 2 jump shots away from having 2 rings. His stats are empty and always been empty. 5 beats 4,3,2 and 1. ………… 81
See I don’t understand how people can watch a game like this and say “LeBron is better than Kobe” like look at the skill level of these shots. Yes LeBron hit a few jumpers but it was all pure brute going to the rack of drive and kicks on double teams or drive and dumps. He’s amazing don’t get me wrong but have each player with their skill set switch bodies and let me know who you’re taking 💯💯. Then let’s add Mike to the convo .. watching Kobe play D on LeBron I’m certain Mike could’ve hung just fine
